Whether you're a lady with long locks or a guy who loves rocking an epic man bun, you probably tote hair ties around with you every day. And if you're not carrying a bag, the most convenient place to carry them is around your wrist. This makes it so much easier to throw your hair up on the go.

But this daily practice could cost you your life one day. Just ask this woman.

As she usually did, Audree Kopp -- a mother from Louisville, Kentucky -- threw a glittery hair tie around her wrist one day before leaving the house.

It's insane to think that something we do so often could lead to such a horrific infection. What does this say about other parts of our daily routines? Talk about a rude awakening. We wish Ms. Kopp the best as she recovers!
